Yeah we can talk about how apple is a piece of shit company and type it all from our macbooks like the hypocrites we are, but everyone's gotta admit this is the comfiest cable ever.

That snap when you plus it in is so stiff and satisfying, I know it's not going anywhere. And it's reversible and small and just kinda pretty all around.

If they could have gotten tb3 running through this instead of usb-c, the macbook would have had 4 of them and that would have been alright with me.

It provided no power (unless you get "special" eSATA+Power adapters and devices) and literally was shitty like FireWire because it wasn't widely accepted.

But that's just not true. Nvidia cards are so dominant today because AMD just can't produce anything competitive at the top end of the market. They may have compelling products in the low and mid range segments, but the positive press Nvidia gets for making the best of the best drives brand recognition. If you want to bitch about Nvidia being ubiquitous, don't blame Nvidia. Blame AMD for being unable to compete.

Adapters make it uncomfy by definition

>>61878663
I was in a battalion's comms platoon. BNC was 3 years of my life, and I can't say I see the appeal. It takes an ungodly amount of force to lock into place to the point girl colleagues were unable to do so. A bit of dirt or gloves make it impossible to handle. I can't remember if the pin had a tendency to break, but the wire itself was weak and often broke apart.
The one time I had fun with these cables was when I was told to strip an old humvee of its old unaccounted for equipment, and I was given permission to cut the cables. It was so old, dirt and bug corpses made a half-inch bed of solid gunk and covered the wires and molded to their shape.

DP to HDMI connectors exist, you low brain.

The only reason business equipment uses DP is because HDMI needs licensing

>>61881056
SHART

>>61882886
HDMI can pretty much do the same as DP (except DP can do more, like multiple displays from the same port). Main difference is that HDMI charges an annual fee of US$10,000 to install for the manufacturer while DP is is royalty free to implement.

So the people who own licenses for HDMI have been advertising their port and so on even though the port is shittier.

DisplayPort has the ability to share this bandwidth with multiple streams of audio and video to separate devices by daisy-chaining them or connecting them to a hub and DisplayPort also have much larger bandwidth capabilities than HDMI (except the absolute newest version of HDMI that has slightly better bandwidth at last, but without the ability to connect to multiple devices from the same port.)

its easy to bend the pins on the internal version of it. has not happened to me because im careful with them but it can happen if you dont have time to do it carefully.

Never had this problem. Most issues I had were with cheap cables that didn't have pull tabs.

Original firewire is p comfy, but for me, Firewire 800 is supreme comfy. Has to be metal end though, not that pleb plastic tips.

This, i can see it replacing every other current cables besides HDMI and maybe power.
Maybe they'll add HDCP later to it so it can also replace HDMI.

If HDMI DDC is transparently passed through, then HDCP should just work, shouldn't it?

HDMI 2.1 ehhem

Loved Firewire back when I was a Macfag, super comfy and kicked the shit out of USB.

I rather like the long connection of fiber channel stuff.

I get flashbacks to trying to plug my mouse and kb into those ports by reaching behind the computer without looking. Fuck that shitty port.

What's the point of a Firewire card having a port you can't access with the case closed?

Maybe a front panel bulkhead with better electrical properties than a pin header.

where do they sell cables that do not have too small connectors? these cables are always loose because the connector is too small.
